Ramón Nse Esono Ebalé (born 22 November 1977) is an Equatorial Guinean illustrator and comics artist.

[2][3] In addition to a career as a commercial artist, Ebalé focuses on the deep inequality of Equatorial Guinea and on Teodoro Obiang, dictator since 1979.

Though his crass style alienated many of his collaborators, he continued to work with a small group of dissidents opposing the government and Obiang.

The book is described as "a satirical day-in-the-life that imagines what it would be like for Obiang himself, accustomed to unbridled control of his country’s economy, to wake up as an unemployed, witless husband in one of Malabo’s dreary slums.

[8] In November 2017, Cartoonists Rights Network, International gave Ebalé its Courage in Editorial Cartooning annual award, to draw attention to his imprisonment.
